First Commonwealth Receives Designation Award from Veterans Saves Program

February 12, 2025, INDIANA, PA ― First Commonwealth Bank was one of only seven financial institutions honored with the 2024 Veteran Saves Week Designation of Savings Excellence (DOSE) award. 

With more than 887 organizations participating, this distinction was explicitly reserved for financial institutions that created measurable impact and displayed exceptional achievement during the annual Veteran Saves Week campaign, which took place November 12–15, 2024, as part of National Military Appreciation Month.

“Delivering financial education is something important to us,” said President Jane Grebenc. “We’re happy to do it. We’re even happier when it can make a difference improving the financial lives of the Veteran community.”

The work of all the participating financial institutions contributed to an impressive collective impact of the Week. During the four-day timeframe following Veterans Day, institutions helped to reach over 4.1 million individuals and encouraged nearly $1.7 million worth of deposits into new and existing savings accounts. Additionally, $418,000 was pledged to be saved into savings accounts toward savings goals for the remainder of 2024.

Veteran Saves Week is an annual event coordinated by Veteran Saves, a program under the America Saves umbrella coordinated by the nonprofit Consumer Federation of America (CFA). Veteran Saves encourages the entire veteran community to take the Veteran Saves Pledge and for organizations to promote savings year-round.
